Conclusion

This collection of reviews highlights the diverse landscape of health promotion interventions, covering a wide array of demographics and settings. Digital health interventions are increasingly prominent, offering pathways for personalized health management in older adults, though challenges such as long-term engagement and digital health literacy persist [1, 7]. Similarly, digital tools prove effective in enhancing mental well-being in workplace environments, reducing stress and burnout [4]. For adolescents, health promotion focuses heavily on mental health, with school-based programs, peer support initiatives, and the development of tailored conceptual frameworks in the digital era proving crucial [2, 5, 8]. Beyond digital solutions, community-based interventions are central to fostering health equity, employing participatory and culturally sensitive programs that require multi-sectoral collaboration for sustainable impact [3]. The role of environmental education is also explored, demonstrating its contribution to public health by empowering individuals to make healthier choices and promote sustainable living [6].
